Happy Valentine Day

Christina Perri A Thousand Years

Heart beats fast  

Colors and promises 

 How to be brave 

 How can I love when I'm afraid  

To fall  

But watching you stand alone  

All of my doubt  

Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you 

Darlin' don't be afraid I have loved you for a Thousand years  

I'll love you for a Thousand more

Time stands still  

Beauty I know she is  

I will be brave 

 I will not let anything  

Take away  

What's standing in front of me  

Every breath, 

  Every hour 

has come to this

One step closer 

 I have died everyday Waiting for you  

Darlin' don't be afraid I have loved you for a Thousand years  

I'll love you for a Thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you  

Time has brought Your heart to me  

I have loved you for a Thousand years  

I'll love you for a Thousand more

One step closer  

One step closer

I have died everyday Waiting for you 

Darlin' don't be afraid, I have loved you for a Thousand years 

I'll love you for a Thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you 

Time has brought Your heart to me 

 I have loved you for a Thousand years 

I'll love you for a Thousand more

Stop SOPA and PIPA

Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. And most of the webs choose to blackout since they don't want SOPA and PIPA to be voted in.

But for now, I'm going to tell you about SOPA and PIPA

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a.k.a H.R. 3261, is a bill that was introduced in the US House of Representatives on October 26, 2011, by House Judiciary Committee Chair Representative Lamar S. Smith  and a group of 12 initial co-sponsors. The bill could expand U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders's ability to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property.

PIPA is Protect IP Act, introduced on May 12, 2011 by Senators Patrick Leahy, Orrin Hatch, Chuck Grassley. It is a re-written legislation, since the original one failed to pass Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) of 2010. If passed, it shall give  U.S. corporations and the government the right to seek affirmative legal action with any website that they see or consider as enabling copyright infringement whether of U.S. origin or not. 

The video below will explain you more about SOPA and PIPA, which I'm against, and wikipedia, facebook, google, twitter, also mozilla, against too.

Here's the video

 

And this what will happen in SOPA PIPA passes

Friday the 13th

There's so many rumors about friday the 13th. The origins and many more about it can be found everywhere. Seems like each country has each type of story, which I'm going to give short summary about it.

In Necromancy it is a day dedicated for someone to contact real ghosts like spirits and sometimes demons.

In the Spanish and Greek speaking world, Friday the 13th is NOT considered an unlucky day, but if the 13th day of the month falls another day of the week then it is.

Meanwhile for the history

• Friday the 13th traces back to a Dutch holiday where mischievous children would sneak into graveyards at night and defecate on tombstones.

• In France, Friday the 13th often fell on the day after the Feast of Saint Imbibecus.  Thus the day was often associated with terrible hangovers and poor choices made the night before.

• The Aztecs brutally killed 39,000 in one day on Friday the 13th of August, 1539.  This was done at the request of the recently arrived Hernan Cortez the next day he overthrew their empire.

• One source says the number 13 has been unlucky since the Last Supper of Christ, where thirteen people were in attendance.

• Most skyscrapers do not include a thirteenth floor.  Gregory Johnson bravely included a thirteenth floor in his designs for the Empire State Building in New York.  Three days after its completion, on a Friday, the weight of the building caused it to buckle and it crushed the thirteenth floor.  It has been structurally sound ever since.

• In London’s summer of 1865, seven prostitutes, two flower sellers, three secretaries and a nun were assaulted on Friday July 13th by a crazy man wearing an athletic mask.

• In 1881, a group of New Yorkers started The 13 Club, aimed at removing the superstitious stigma from the number.  At their first meeting on Friday the 13th, all thirteen members walked under a ladder into a room filled spilled salt and broken mirrors.  They all died in a freak accident involving a runaway truck and a rabid wolverine on its way to be put down.

• On Friday June 13th of 1952, Massachusetts Governor Kyle McArthur banned all private automotive transportation on the unlucky day.  Nine overcrowded city buses crashed into each other in downtown Boston.
• Friday the 13th is considered a day of bad luck in English, French and Portuguese-speaking countries around the world, as well as in Austria, Germany, Estonia, Finland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Republic of Ireland, Poland, Bulgaria, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, and even the Philippines. 

I also heard that woman should not take a shower on Friday the 13th since Jason will come and slaughter them. Well, actually, I don't really into this day, eventhough I believe in ghosts. Just want to inform you anyway.

Happy Mother's Day

Today, 22 December is the precious day for every single mother in the world, and for the girls who will become a mother sooner or later. This day also the same day for Chinese people to celebrate Dong Zhi Festival which I'll tell you in the next post. Since today is mother's day, I'm going to give a short history about mother's day. The earliest tributes to mothers date back to the annual spring festival the Greeks dedicated to Rhea, the mother of many deities, and to the offerings ancient Romans made to their Great Mother of Gods, Cybele. While in United States, Mother's Day started nearly 150 years ago, when Anna Jarvis, an Appalachian homemaker, organized a day to raise awareness of poor health conditions in her community, a cause she believed would be best advocated by mothers. She called it "Mother's Work Day."Well those are a short history of Mother's Day. Now I'm going to give you several creative ideas to help you celebrate mother's day with your mom.

A Song Created By Yourself

A bouquet of flowers

  

Or if you think a bouquet of flowers is not enough you can add some ribbons to make it look better and cuter :)

You can pick those flowers (highly recommended your Mom's favorite flowers) from your garden or specially request the florist to deliver it to your house on mother's day, but I suggest you to pick them yourself if you have time and have a garden since by doing that will show more effort rather than ask the florist. But it's up to you anyway :)

 An Unique Card

A Poem

A Craft

You can create it yourself if you can. But if not you can buy it from the craft shop. ^^

A Snow Ball

A Video

A Domino Fall Down

A Dish Specially Made By You

You can make a dish (or even a whole day dishes) for your Mom, her favorite dish for sure.

A Morning Kiss

It's so simple yet it can make your Mom happy for the whole day. ^^

Doing Household Chores For The Whole Day

And The Last Is Buy A Gift For Your Mom

Well I guess that's all I can provide you. The choice is all yours. ^^
